I added the floor merely for strength, and I ' used Plastruct angle material to complete the corners and give them more strength. Next I airbrushed the structure with Floquil reefer white, let the white dry for several days, and then brush-painted the interior with Floquil grimy black. I nearly forgot to add the styrene partitions that can be seen in fig. 10. These prevent someone from looking in the front windows and out through the rear restroom windows in most unrealistic fashion. I next made the shutters. These were cut from a strip ofstyrene, using an index card pattern to add the interesting little evergreen tree design: see fig. 11. Small horizontal strips of styrene hold together the two boards thatmake a shutter. Fig. 12 is a closeup of a finished and installed pair of shutters. After the shutters were completed, the shutters, doors, and windows could be placed on a sticky-side-up piece ofmasking tape and painted. I used Floquil's Southern Pacific Lark light gray, which is actually a rather dark charcoal gray. After the paint had dried for a day the windows were glazed with clear acetate. Then the gray parts were added to the building. Now I could add the roof. I looked at sev- eral roofing materials that are on the market, but couldn't find anything to represent the composition shingles of the prototype, so I decided to scratchbuild them. I found the basic method I used in Jim Findley's article "A small brick station" on page 48 Of SCRATCHBUILDING & KITBASHING MODEL RAILROAD STATIONS, a Kalmbach book. The first thing I did was lightly airbrush some very lightweight black construction paper with Floquil Amtrak red. Using black paper gives a realistic black edge where cuts are made and I also wanted some black speckling showing through to give the shingles an asphalt look. Next I located some graph paper that is drawn into HO scale 1-foot squares. Then I cut my roofing material into small sheets and stapled four of these sheets together under a piece of graph paper to make a small booklet, as shown in fig. 13.
